★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 78 reviews · from $23

“My guide Prima was great, picked me up at my hotel and off to Borobudur (via a quick stop at a kopi luwak place for a coffee because the traffic was not as bad and we were early). Then on to Prambanan where I had a fantastic guide called Micco - the guide at Prambanan is not part of the ticket but you should definitely get one. Micco knew all the best photo spots, and had a torch to light up the temple interiors unlike everyone struggling with their phone torches! The whole experience was really interesting and I would recommend it to anyone.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11 reviews · 150 minutes - 3 hours · from $20Best value

Small-group night walk in Malioboro, Yogyakarta with an English guide, street snacks, optional haunted house, and a market stop for batik.

“De tour was anders dan we hadden verwacht. We hebben alleen maar een beetje rondgelopen met een gids die slecht Engels sprak. Hij heeft niks verteld over de stad. Het enige leuke was de bijzondere koffie die we op het begin kregen. Omdat hij doorkreeg dat we trek hadden, heeft hij een klein beetje rijst gehaald. Het was dus helemaal geen foodtour.”
